Amazon Prime Members Get Early Access to Lightning Deals

In conjunction with the launch, Amazon announced that, for the first time, Prime members will have early access to the 30,000 Lightning Deals it plans to offer — with the ability to purchase deals 30 minutes before anyone else.

Though the majority of deals offered today didn’t sell out, that extra half hour could be a game-changer when Black Friday gets closer — and the deals get hotter — so if you’re not already a Prime member, you might want to sign up for a free trial.
